The 2022 MIRROR Mentorship program
MIRROR is a year-long mentorship program that will identify, support, mentor, and develop up to three writers, illustrators, and literary translators with the aim of making new bilingual Australian children's literature that reflects a diverse and curious reading public.
Among other offerings, Scribble will be helping the recipients facilitate a shared project, to provide an end-to-end experience of how a literary work moves from a creative concept to a published work.
MIRROR is proudly brought to you by us in partnership with the Think+DO Tank Foundation, and with the assistance of the Australian Government through the Australia Council.
